Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government procured the servicing of two main propulsion motor flexible couplings on the Marine Patrol Vessel Jura. The work included supplying new replacement coupling elastic elements, part number EG252WR00 to manufacturers’ drawing G2520R. Components had to be type approved by Lloyd’s Register; where matching elements could not be supplied, complete coupling replacement proposals could be considered. Attendance at the vessel was required during its annual refit at Dunston’s shipyard in Hull. This is a marine engineering and vessel propulsion equipment requirement, primarily classified as CPV 34310000. The buyer was the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate. The requirement covered goods and associated servicing, with electronic ordering and payment arrangements.

This procurement has been awarded following a completed open procedure. One lot was awarded to Sulzer, and the contract was signed on 2 June 2026. The active contract value is £107,764.97; the original estimated procurement value was £75,000. The contract period ran from 27 October to 30 November 2025. Tenders closed at noon on 23 September 2025, with bid opening at the same time, and bids had to remain valid for 180 days. Two electronic bids were received, including one from an SME. Evaluation used economic and technical selection requirements, with quality-based scoring from unacceptable to excellent. Suppliers needed the required turnover, insurance, financial ratios and profitability, plus relevant experience, qualified staff, facilities, equipment, environmental controls, supply-chain systems and quality management arrangements.

This award demonstrates demand from the Scottish Government for specialist marine propulsion coupling servicing and replacement during a vessel refit. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would have practical experience maintaining ship propulsion systems and supplying compatible coupling components, with the technical capability to propose complete replacements where matching elastic elements are unavailable. Credibility would be strengthened by three relevant examples from the previous five years, suitable technicians and technical facilities, and access to the necessary tools, plant and equipment. Businesses would also need robust supply-chain tracking, environmental management and subcontracting controls. A UKAS- or equivalently accredited ISO 9001 quality certificate, or an equivalent documented and senior-approved quality management system, would be important.
